Kevin O’Leary was in town wearing a sealskin jacket, and we think he said one thing that lost him support from much of NL. We check out a study showing that NL has a very high rate of heavy drinking, but we think the criteria for “heavy drinker” is too low. Maybe that’s the problem here! Next, we check out another hilariously poor decision from St. John’s council who reject a 1-person business operation due to parking issues. There was a big radio shakeup when VOCM surprisingly and silently removed the open-line show Backtalk with Pete Soucy. Joel gives some insight on why this stuff happens in radio and why we’ll never get an answer. After a bit of talk about how VOCM has become terrible, we move onto the story of a runaway Corner Brook woman who went to live with Natureboy but is now coming home. We watch a video of dangerous snowmobilers, there’s a 90s concert coming to town, and we look at a new kindergarten class for adults.
